incisaria) with a brown hair-pencil at the costal margin above proceeding from the base, at the anal angle 
without dents. Type: incisaria Wkr. 
S. discolor Warr. (170 g). $ yellowish white. Forewing somewhat brownish at the base. The lines discolor. 
pale, edged dark. Interior line strongly bent inward at x / 5 of the length of the wing. The exterior one bent below 
the costal margin, then straight and obliquely inward to % inner margin. Traces of a dark median line and a 
spot at the cross-vein. Somewhat dark before the middle of the distal margin. Hindwing with a curved ex¬ 
terior line. An ochreous hue before it in the middle. $ 28 mm. Costa Rica. 
S. incisaria Wkr. (170 g). Yellowish white, dusted with brown of a variable intensity. Interior line incisaria. 
of forewing finely brown, extending as in discolor. A fine white dot at the cross-vein, a large brown spot behind 
it. Exterior line also like that of discolor , mostly only the interior dark edge is somewhat distinct. The brown 
submarginal shadow is continuous. Hindwing with a dark exterior and submarginal band of brown scales. 
22—30 mm. From Mexico to Brazil. 
S. acinacidaria H.-Schdff. (172 b) presumably belongs to this place. $ similar to incisaria. Whitish, acinacida- 
densely striated pale brown. Forewing with a luniform spot at the cross-vein, with incurved points, a dark line r 
extending from it to y 3 inner margin. Exterior line feebly double, incurved towards the costal margin, where 
it shows black spots which are absent in incisaria. The subapical spot and the dark striation before the margin 
as in incisaria. Hindwing striated the same as in incisaria. An interior and exterior line traceable in the original 
figure. $ 28 mm. Venezuela. 
S. genaria sp. n. ( — opigena $ Drc.) (170 g) resembles incisaria. Yellowish. Forewing somewhat genaria. 
brownish in the interior half. A white spot at the cross-vein, with an indistinct brown spot outside. The in¬ 
terior line extends from the white dot straightly inward to % inner margin, brown outside, yellowish white 
inside; towards the costal margin it extends indistinctly, notched, inward. Exterior line brown, white outside, 
from % inner margin, outward below vein 1, obliquely upward as far as vein 5, then quite indistinct. A rusty 
brown submarginal shadow in the anterior half. Hindwing with traces of a broad median and submarginal 
band of rusty brown dusting, extending from the inner margin to the centre of the wing. 26—30 mm. Central 
America, Brazil. The <$ probably belonging to it has very hazily marked wings, dark bands instead of the lines. 
S. cassera Drc. (170 g). Red-brown or dark brown. Forewing with 3 very indistinct dark transverse cassera. 
bands. The interior line vertical on % inner margin. The next one before the middle of the inner margin 
somewhat obliquely outward and a parallel one from % inner margin, the two last bent inward at the costal 
margin. Hindwing with a straight interior line, somewhat extinct. Median line uniformly bent, darker behind 
it. The apex of the $ forewing projects very far. 28—32 mm. Central America. 
S. adjectaria Wkr. Similar to acinacidaria (172 b). White, dusted greyish brown. Interior line of adjectaria. 
forewing very indistinct. Exterior line white, partly edged with black inside, angled in front. There is no central 
spot mentioned on the forewing, but there is such a spot on the hindwing. Lines apparently not discernible. 
The anal angle is very much cut out, the dents beside it feeble. $ 22 mm. Venezuela. 
S. aeolis Sc.hs. White. Forewing somewhat pale brown at the base, grey at the costal margin. An aeolis. 
exterior row of small spots formed of brown scales. A brown submarginal shadow behind them. Hindwing 
with an indistinct interior line, the exterior line better visible, spotted. The dark scales are more densely ar¬ 
ranged at the anal angle, brown scales are also at the margin. Forewing of $ with an interior line of more densely 
arranged scales, a median band is also traceable. A small marginal spot above vein 4, dark scales above the 
anal angle. 20 mm. Costa Rica. 
18. Genus: Myperplema Warr. 
Proboscis small, palpi long, antennae of d bipectinated. Forewing oblong, apex obtusely rounded, 
distal margin without angles. Veins 2, 3 and 4 at equal distances, 5 below the upper cell-angle, 6 + 7 and 
8 + 9 + 10 stalked. Hindwing narrow, with an indentation at the anal angle. Vein 5 above the middle of 
the cross-vein, 6 + 7 on a short stalk, d forewing with a hyaline spot at the base. Type: rudis Warr. 
H. rudis Warr. (170 g). Greyish brown. Forewing somewhat darker at the costal margin. The two lines rudis. 
dark, angled. The first at x / 3 of the length of the wing, angled below the costal margin and at the median vein, 
then obliquely inward. The second line at %, obliquely outward, sharply angled at vein 7, then undulate, 
obliquely inward. A fine black dot at the cross-vein. Hindwing with a double dark interior and exterior line. 
Cellular dot black. d 20 mm. “Onoribo”. 
19. Genus: IjeiicoiiotJia Warr. 
Proboscis absent, palpi long porrect. Antennae of $ bipectinated, serrate in the $. Forewing with a 
round costal margin and apex, the distal margin oblique, bent. Veins 3 and 4 close together, 5 below the upper 
cell-angle, 6 + 7 and 8 + 9 + 10 stalked. Hindwing rounded. Vein 3 well separated from 4, 5 from the middle 
of the cross-vein, 6 + 7 on a short stalk. Type: venosa Warr. The 4 species described are very much alike and 
do not look like Eplipemidae at all.
